Haven Morrison knows exactly what she wants.
At forty-seven, she has already known a good marriage, raised a son, built a successful career, and learned how to keep living after losing the husband she loved. Seven years later, Haven isn't searching for a replacement or waiting for another man to make her life feel complete.
She's also had plenty of time to discover more about herself.
Her marriage was loving, but traditional in the bedroom. Dating afterward gave Haven the freedom to explore desires she hadn't before, and she learned something she has no intention of apologizing for:
She likes being in control.
By the time Phillip Conrad enters her life, Haven already knows how she likes to be touched, pleased, and obeyed.
Phillip, forty-four, is a successful attorney who has never considered marriage necessary to a full life. He values his independence, trusts his instincts, and is accustomed to being the one in control.
Then professional friction puts Haven directly in his path.
Away from work, attraction becomes conversation, dates, laughter, intimacy, and the realization that they enjoy far more about each other than either anticipated. And when that connection reaches the bedroom, Haven doesn't need Phillip to awaken anything in her.
She already knows what she wants.
Phillip simply proves he's very good at taking direction.
What grows between them forces Haven to consider how something new can exist without diminishing the love she had before, while Phillip learns that paying attention to a woman isn't the same as already knowing her.
Neither needs rescuing. Neither needs completing. Their lives were full before they met.
But wanting each other may be reason enough to make room for more.
And as they begin figuring out exactly what that means, an unwanted complication starts crossing boundaries neither of them realizes will hit so close to home.
What I Want is a grown, explicit contemporary Black romance about love after loss, mature desire, female sexual dominance, and choosing something new without erasing what came before it.
Content Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, themes of grief and loss, and situations involving unwanted attention and personal safety. Please read with care.
